Trading update
Gresham Technologies plc (LSE: "GHT", "Gresham", "Company" or the "Group"), the leading software and services company that specialises in providing real-time data integrity and control solutions, is pleased to provide the following trading update.
The Company continues to see strong demand in the market for data integrity and control solutions and has so far signed five new Clareti customers in the second half of 2018, including three in the important US market. In addition, a number of existing Clareti customers have upgraded their subscriptions. The Company has also entered into a strategic fintech partnership with a major bank in Asia Pacific that has significant growth potential, as announced on 26 September 2018.
The integration of the B2 Group is now materially complete. The newly formed Cash Management Solutions business is performing at the expected levels and has signed two new customer subscriptions for Clareti Multi Bank and one upgrade since completion of the acquisition on 4 July 2018.
The Group's legacy business continues to perform as planned and the Group now has full visibility of all 2018 expected non-Clareti revenues. In particular, the Group's Australian sub-contracting business has signed contracts to deliver a minimum AUD $9M of services over a twelve-month period commencing October 2018.
Clareti revenues for the 9 months ending 30 September 2018 are 16% ahead of the comparative period last year (excluding B2 Group) and the Company continues to invest in product innovation and business development. As noted at the time of the interim results, the ability to convert the pipeline of opportunities that the Board expected to conclude in the second half of 2018 is key. The Company is actively engaged on a number of well advanced Clareti opportunities that are expected to contribute to the current financial year, and management therefore remains confident in the full year outlook.
